Inok Of Dalša
Inok of Dalša (Serbian: Инок из Далше; from the first half of the 15th-century) was an anonymous Serbian writer and translator. Life and work At the invitation of the despot Stefan Lazarević, he came from Mount Athos to Serbia and settled in the Dalša Monastery, where he transcribed books ("The Gospel of Radoslav" and "The Four Gospels", both from 1429). He left an autobiographical record of the suffering during the Turkish invasion after the despot's death (around 1428/29), impressively and vividly written, without rhetorical embellishment, valuable both as a literary work and as a document of his time. He is also the author of "Istorikije" (1438?), A very short chronicle, i.e. "The beginning of the chronicle", with a Serbian chronicle which covered the events of 1348 to 1438. A Serbian Gospel book of the painter Radoslav from 1429 with a colophon by the monk (inok) from Dalša monastery was found by Porphrius Uspenski in the nineteenth century during his visit t ...

Scribe
A scribe is a person who serves as a professional copyist, especially one who made copies of manuscripts before the invention of automatic printing. The profession of the scribe, previously widespread across cultures, lost most of its prominence and status with the advent of the printing press. The work of scribes can involve copying manuscripts and other texts as well as secretarial and administrative duties such as the taking of dictation and keeping of business, judicial, and historical records for kings, nobles, temples, and cities. The profession has developed into public servants, journalists, accountants, bookkeepers, typists, and lawyers. In societies with low literacy rates, street-corner letter-writers (and readers) may still be found providing scribe service. Ancient Egypt One of the most important professionals in ancient Egypt was a person educated in the arts of writing (both hieroglyphics and hieratic scripts, as well as the demotic script from the s ...

Miniature (illuminated Manuscript)
A miniature (from the Latin verb ''miniare'', "to colour with '' minium''", a red lead) is a small illustration used to decorate an ancient or medieval illuminated manuscript; the simple illustrations of the early codices having been miniated or delineated with that pigment. The generally small scale of such medieval pictures has led to etymological confusion with minuteness and to its application to small paintings, especially portrait miniatures, which did however grow from the same tradition and at least initially used similar techniques. Apart from the Western, Byzantine and Armenian traditions, there is another group of Asian traditions, which is generally more illustrative in nature, and from origins in manuscript book decoration also developed into single-sheet small paintings to be kept in albums, which are also called miniatures, as the Western equivalents in watercolor and other mediums are not. These include Arabic miniatures, and their Persian, Mughal, Ottoman ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
